Mark Farrington was placed on leave Aug. 20, Delgado said, as undisclosed allegations are examined. Farrington, who is paid $131,000 annually, has led the Human Resources Department and civil service division since 2014.

The investigation is “mostly aimed at managerial responsibilities and managerial style, but I can’t go into detail on that with the investigation going on,” Delgado said.

Most government records involving ongoing investigations are exempt from public disclosure requirements until the completion of the investigation.

Delgado said he hopes the investigation is resolved soon. In the meantime, Deputy City Manager Shawn Sherrouse will manage many of the human resources functions and Assistant City Attorney Palmer Davis will assist the city’s civil service board.
